The respondents' surrender of the challenged resource consent amounted to conceding the relief sought, displacing the presumption in r15.23; accordingly costs were awarded to the applicants on a 2B scale against the respondents jointly and severally, but claimed expert fees and the costs of filing supporting affidavits were not reasonably necessary for commencement and were disallowed; modest disbursements linked to the proceeding were allowed.
